🎼 Broadcasting today at 20:00 CET: The Lake Radio x Seismograf presents selected audio papers.

Ania Mauruschat: “The Heartbeat of the Drum. On the sonic agency of the Inuit Qilaat in the decolonization of Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland).” An audiopaper published on Seismograf 2023, vol. 30. as a part of the series ‘What Sounds Do’.

For over 4000 years, the Inuit in Kalaallit Nunaat, as Greenland is called in Greenlandic, have been living in an intimate relationship with nature in the Arctic. Their knowledge of how to survive under such harsh conditions has been preserved and passed on via sound through the millennia. For the Inuit, storytelling and frame drum singing and dancing have sonic agency. They give them the energy they needed to survive and thrive in the cold. The powers of these sounds and their misconception by missionaries and colonizers as addressing pagan or even evil forces led to the ban of the qilaat, the Inuit frame drum, from churches and public spaces. After the suppression of these sounds for around 300 years, in December 2021 Inuit drum dancing and singing has been inscribed as UNESCO intangible cultural heritage. But despite this huge acknowledgment, the fight for the revitalization of the qilaat is far from over, as the case of the Greenlandic ex-priest Markus E. Olsen shows.

Do you want a one-off program on The Lake Radio?
We are now open for submissions to our new Listener Series: “No WiFi Available”.

As streaming services grow bigger we’re putting more and more faith in this thing called the internet to sustain the archives of our common musical heritage. 
If one day, the internet would break and all your playlists, favorites, and internet radios were gone, what would you listen to? Maybe an old box of CD’s from your basement, the birdsong of your local forest or maybe you would meet with your friends and play cover songs from memory. 

We invite you, our listeners, to answer this question in the form of a radio program. 

You are welcome to submit a “traditional” music program or experiment with the format as much as you feel like.

Submission deadline January 31st 2026
📧 [email protected]

Selected programs will be broadcasted on Tbe Lake Radio throughout the spring of 2026.

"Loosing control over the creepers tonight, bruise them up like four to the floor, with the majestic 909 that kicks till broken squares shatter like glass. We make contact to a new galaxy of rage. No big city will sleep tonight. The Dominica, the amazonian will tear up the greed. Our sense of justice is a hurricane demanding a new world order. Cuz justice is missing."

Broadcasting today at 20:00 CEST: SHAPE+ mixtape from Pizza Noise Mafia.

Pizza Noise Mafia is a Brussels-based electronic duo made up of Matthieu Levet (Carrageenan, Carcass Identity) and Thibault Gondard (TG Gondard, Colombey). Armed with just a drum machine and a synthesiser, their minimalist setup hasn’t stopped them from getting crowds dancing—from illegal basement raves to major festivals across Europe.

Since the release of their debut album i canti della malavita in 2014 on the Belgian label Slaaploos, the duo has built a fierce live reputation, playing in iconic venues like Instants Chavirés, La Machine du Moulin Rouge, Le Trabendo (Paris), L’Ubu (Rennes), and Les Trinitaires (Metz). They’ve also lit up the stages of festivals such as Sonic Protest, Musiques Volantes, Schiev, Les 3 Éléphants, Villette Sonique, Idéal Trouble, and Frisson Acidulé, sharing lineups with artists like The Soft Moon, Pachanga Boys, Noir Boy George, Flavien Berger, Somaticae…

Their upcoming album—out November 2025 on Slaaploos— is a long journey through their ten years of electronic music: a nocturnal odyssey, hedonistic and ecstatic, but resolutely far from the techno motorway, along seldom-trodden and unpredictable paths.

Pizza Noise Mafia is an act of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the EU and Pro Helvetia.

💌 Dear Listeners, this is a special message — we ask for your support in keeping The Lake the special place that it is.

For more than a decade, The Lake has been a home for sound, music, and storytelling beyond borders and algorithms — a space where voices, field recordings, and sonic collages coexist; where what plays next is always a mystery, even to us. We want to keep being a radio station that covers what most don’t and remain a relevant space for those who listen.

The Lake Radio is free for everyone (with an internet connection) and free of commercials, but keeping The Lake flowing isn’t free. Our main expenses are music rights, rent, and fees for our small editorial team. Much of what we do — the curation, the recording, the mixing, the stories — is powered by many volunteer hours and a deep love for sound.
To keep doing what we love, we ask for your kind help.

Your support — no matter the size — helps us:
• Keep our 24/7 stream alive
• Pay artists and rights holders fairly
• Maintain our studio in Nørrebro, Copenhagen
• Continue sharing new sonic worlds with the community

If you like what you hear, please consider making a donation today. You can support us with a one-time donation or contribute monthly through Patreon and PayPal. If you live in Denmark, you can also donate via MobilePay at 68866.

We are very grateful for all the contributions

Autumn has arrived in all the warm colors and the hard times just begun, hence the title of this episode. We take a mango drive in the hopes to breathe as we're eight ways from Sunday. All the dreamscapes come alive in the stroboscope rays of the sun, yes we need more light. More room. Call the dub regulator to overcome our fears as we know that one day will be our last. In the midst of hope I call on all the basic channels to roll off. Let's dub the pain away. The magic exist. The energies exist. The intuition exists.

Synet på de almene boliger er domineret af de store blikke udefra. Og ingen er mere udskældte end de største af dem: blokkene. Men hvordan ser livet ud, når vi kigger fra blokkene indefra og ud?

I denne nye podcast-serie “Vores hjem fortalt”, inviterer beboere fra Folehaven, Gellerup og Holstebro os med ind i deres verden og fortæller om, hvordan det er at bo og høre til i deres almene boligområder. 

En gruppe unge piger tager os med på opdagelse i Folehaven, og vi møder dem  i en opbrudstid for deres venskaber og boligområde. I Gellerup og Holstebro tager et netværk af mødre os med ind i stuerne, opgangene og på stierne og sætter de store politiske dagsordener og hverdagens fællesskaber i perspektiv.

Podcasten er skabt af beboere fra de almene boligområder Folehaven, Gellerup og Nørreland i Holstebro, og tilrettelagt af Haena Laura Na Blankholm og Janna Aldaraji i samarbejde med AKK - Almene kunstklubber og The Lake Radio.

Broadcasting today at 20:00 CEST or listen on your prefered podcast platform now. The podcast is in danish. 

Projektet er støttet af FRI Puljen, der er en del af Fundamental Rights Initiative, et samarbejde mellem Globalt Fokus og Nyt Europa og er co-finansieret  af EU.

Coming up is the new SHAPE+ mixtape from Farzané. Broadcasting today at 20:00 CEST.

Farzané (Farzaneh Nouri), an Iranian sound artist, creative coder, and researcher based in the Netherlands, works at the intersection of experimental music and computer science.
Her ongoing practice-based research focuses on embodied knowledge in human-computer free improvisation.

Embracing AI’s fundamental otherness while establishing relational connections, her practice aims at creating conditions of genuine encounter and collaborative destabilization between the artist and the machine.

This speculative approach moves beyond technological determinism and cultural essentialism, exploring how human and machine intelligences might co-evolve through creative tension and collaborative aesthetic discovery.  

Farzané is an act of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the EU and Pro Helvetia.

Broadcasting the second episode of Noisy Neighbors’ (Swedish title: ‘Bullret I byn’) today at 20:00 CEST.

For over a decade, noise complaints have shaped the music scene in Stockholm. Many venues have been forced to close down or move due to neighbors being disturbed. Noisy neighbors” (Swedish title: ”Bullret i byn”) investigates the relationship between music, sound and city life in the Swedish capital.

The series follows Fylkingen, one of the oldest still active organisations for experimental music in the world, as they are being evicted from their venue after almost 40 years. But they are far from alone.

A series in three parts, where the sounds of the city, memories and actual noise complaints submitted to the Swedish Environmental Department blend together to create something between a documentary and music in itself.

A transcript of the entire series in both English and Swedish is available if you dm us with your email (see the next slides).
